I was amused and horrified all at the same time...It was really a weird experience
I got myself a little springer spaniel, she arrived in December, first trip up to the lake and she managed to kill 2 chickens within the first couple of hours and managed to catch a small goat which my big labrador picked up and carried away...You have a (soon to be) hunting dog now. Just wait until you get one of those gifts brought to you.
Yep, I got a whistle after that first trip to the lake and picked up some tips from the breeder, got a couple of books too. So far much improved, the whistle is a good tool!Pete You need a whistle and some serious training.
My dogs have never been around free range chickens. I can only imagine how excited they would get with all the “stupid” pheasants standing around.
